17th COGNO Annual Scientific Meeting
New Horizons, Novel Therapies
On behalf of the Organising Committee, we are delighted to invite you to the 17th COGNO Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM), taking place at The Langham, Gold Coast, Queensland from Sunday 14th September to Tuesday 16th September 2025. This year’s theme, "New Horizons, Novel Therapies" reflects our shared commitment to advancing clinical trials, research and treatment in brain cancer.
As Australia’s premier interdisciplinary neuro-oncology meeting, the COGNO ASM brings together leading clinicians, researchers, allied health professionals, consumers and industry representatives, all dedicated to improving the care and outcomes of adults affected by brain and spinal tumours.
